Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is earning rave reviews from his offensive linemen, not for his play on the field, but for his Christmas gifts to them.
Burrow gifted his linemen authentic Japanese katana swords. Each had a unique design and story. He allowed the linemen to pick their favorite one.
It has to be challenging for quarterbacks to figure out what to give the men who protect him week in and week out, but Burrow succeeded.

His offensive linemen loved their gifts, but in a random odd fact, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was asked Burrow’s choice and if he would want one.
Gannon said that since he is not a samurai, he would not want one.
“No I wouldn’t, I’m not a samurai.”

It is worth noting that these katanas are not for actual use; they are intended to be mounted on the wall as a decor item.
Joe BurrowAnd The Bengals Are Trying To Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
The Bengals are 6-8 and still barely hanging in the playoff hunt.
In addition to winning out, they need help from other teams to make it happen. The Broncos have two lose their final two games, and the Colts and Dolphins each have to lose one of their three final games.
The Bengals still have a chance to make the playoffs 😳

Joe Burrow may hope that his gift helps his offensive linemen keep up their fighting spirits because there is more work to be done for the Bengals in the 2024-2025 NFL season.
